Great to have Tom back in the squad!

Same here, I see Ackroyd as a long term replacement for Finn.

Please take this as the throw away comment it's meant but i don't think i've ever seen a bigger difference in size than Ackroyd and Pauli, worth the admission alone!!

no idea if either are any good, but it sure made me smile.

That's probably why I like the lad. To be that small but not be out of place with the likes of PP you've got to have something special about you.

I agree, I haven't seen many smaller than Ackroyd and I've certainly not seen many bigger than PP. It was like Windsor Davis and lofty.

I saw some of MacDermotts comments about their big (polish sounding) young prop, that he needed more courage or heart, just imagine needing that whilst also being a relative midget!!

i know kear has gone but we are building a classic Kear team with loads of big props and nuggety tough playmakers.

A bit off topic: Someone bought me the John Kear book "Coaching is chaos" Great read with insight into his full career from scoreboard operator at Cas up to coaching Batley about 2012. The "Wakey Wakey" chapter especially relevant to poster on here.

On that topic, Kear was on Radio Leeds last night for an hour, was a brilliant piece were he talked in detail about his whole career - I think you should be able to catch it on the Iplayer... It`s definitely worth a listen!

HT 28-0

Pauli Pauli so good they named him twice

I am at work so listening on Rhubarb radio and cant wait to see that last try from TJ on WakeyTV. Seems he has had a good run out. Pleased for the lad and everyone today sounded as though they enjoyed it

Don’t think the team got out of second gear today. Could’ve just as easily been 80-0.

Good team performance and the defence was rock solid all game. Couple of good solid performances from the younger players Crowther, Ackroyd and Kershaw.
